| New Year's Eve and the Iran-Iraq war: Tehran
is being repeatedly attacked with missiles. Gilaneh, a lonely
middle-aged villager has to send her son to the war. She must
also accompany her daughter to Tehran in search of her son-in-law,
who has illegally left the service. 15 years later: again New
Year's Eve, and Gilaneh À fatigued with life À is taking care
of her chemically-wounded son and is also far away from her
daughter. Incapable of looking after her son, Gilaneh is waiting
for a woman from the South who has lost her husband in the war
and made a promise to get married to Gilaneh's son. This film
depicts people whose love and destiny have been violated and
changed by war. . |
